LITERARY WEEK – Secondary School
5th -9th February 2017
The ADHS Literary week 2017 took flight with the banner ‘Benevolence Unlimited – the Art of Giving’. It
was propelled into success from the very first activity. An enthralling concept of sharing a social message in a
Fairy Tale setting. Students were deeply involved in writing, improvising, imagining and enacting.
DAY 2 – Master Mind
The Class Inter-House Quiz kept the
grey cells ticking. The students'
knowledge soared to reach out to the
domain of the Modern Literary
World, in their endeavor for gaining
knowledge and understanding. The
Question and Answer Round, Audio
Round, The Visual Round and the
Rapid-Fire Round saw students
fighting tooth and nail for the
Numero Uno position of Master
Minds.
DAY 1 – Escape into a Fairy Tale
The literary carnival – ‘Benevolence Unlimited – the Art of Giving’ unfolds
providing our vivacious students a space to dare, dream and imagine.
“Does our present Educational System prepare students for the real world?” A provocative question to set the
mood for the Teachers v/s Students debate. Both teams left no stone unturned to prove their point. They put
forward their oratory skills with utmost conviction and clarity, making their position clear with their tactful
arguments. The victors of this nail-biting face -off were the proponents-Teachers.
The innovative idea of uniting two closely linked objects or people in an engaging conversation was the
highlight of the day. Salt and Pepper, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Red Riding Hood and The Big
Bad Wolf– all jumped to life, to create hilarious situations. The Diyafites, in their pursuit to ‘bring objects
and characters to life’, employed their creativity as the catalyst to inspire, entertain, or provoke thought.
The outcome was beyond words to describe. It was a day of fun, frolic and laughter.
Day 3 – Star Pairs
Day 4-Fiery Feud
Romance, Murder, Mystery, Suspense, Pain - A vibrant insight into the phenomenal, astounding and wondrous
